I hate to throw out a favorite board game even when there are pieces missing! Â That is why I love this project to create your own postcard or homemade cards to give out to friends, or just keep a pile ready to go when you need a quick Birthday or Thank you.
You could also use the same process for making birthday invitations.
Homemade Cards are Easy!
This project is a great one for digging out those games that you no longer play because you are missing pieces. Â Look for card games especially– those with cards that are on a little bit heavier paper or cardstock. Â You will be adding a backer to it, but it does need to be strong enough to pass along through the mail system.
If you don’t come up with one that will work, make a quick run to the discount or thrift store. Â There is usually oodles of games that would work for this. Â You could even let the kids pick out their favorite… or something that shows their personalities.
